Upcoming global event

2013 Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Energy Summit

The IEC regularly lends its support to key global and regional industry events allowing them to put forward IEC endorsement on their website and materials.

The conference

This is the case with the 2013 Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Energy Summit which is scheduled to take place in Berlin, Germany, on 30-31 October.

The theme of this year’s summit is “Economical and Infrastructural Support for a Sustainable Future Energy Carrier”. The event will have a heavy focus on techno-economic case studies of hydrogen and fuel cell technology initiatives/projects around the globe looking at the challenges & obstacles encountered in each project and how they are approached.

Key topics to be addressed include:

Legal policy and safety status

Global market overview

Financial feasibility of hydrogen fuel cells

Hydrogen production, storage and transportation

Case studies: Technology deployment

Technology case studies

Commercialization of fuel cell vehicles: myth or reality

Infrastructural development and challenges

The two-day event will bring together key industry stakeholders from all facets of the hydrogen economy, such as hydrogen producers and suppliers, fuel cell and hydrogen storage companies, automotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), component manufacturers and industrial end-users, utilities, government officials and regulators, to name but a few.

The conference, which will comprise a series of presentations by senior industry executives and experts, as well as panel discussions, will be a great networking opportunity for anyone active in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector.
